Of course, men are in the musculinized sectors, having leisure and being well-paid. What kinda magical sector is that, I wanna work there too. Being CEO's? Even CEO's have no time for leisure, on the contrary, they work alot. Funniest is that you call this a scheme, as if some evil male organisation is behind this to exploit the women of the world :D
Speaking as someone who's going through the academic wringer right now and hating every moment of it, I have to say that in many cases, the traditionally "masculine" disciplines aren't any better paying. I'm a biologist, and this is one of the worst avocations to have because chances are I'll end up at a low-wage job teaching aspiring doctors the basics of biology. Ditto for physics and engineers. The "practical" majors are becoming even more commercialized and consequently low-paying.
It really depends where you work...work for private companies..and youll see that your salary will dramatically raise....Working for public companies is bullshit,especially in science fields...that's why physicians are all moving into private practices...same for scientists.
Well..it's like this in canada....if you do researches for high parties,pay is high.

Men are terrible! We women only need them to reproduce! I say we kill all men except for Brad Piutt and George Clooney, then we will have all the jobs! YAA
That was an interesting comment about "mysterious market forces". To me it's a euphemism for politicized market. What is considered valuable to the economy and what is considered worthy of higher salaries is pretty much political, isn't it? Caring, nurturing, communication & cultural enrichment all take a back seat to nuts & bolts technical knowledge. Is it my imagination, or is it true that the literacy level of Americans has been going down hill over the past couple of decades?
Hi all I wont speak about Lotto,what i value to the people i speak with is being honest and saying the truth but i have found a LEGIT program that is amazing and can bring you alsmost $4000 on a monthly basis,some commitement is needed for the beginning though so i look for people who are commited to earn money and i ll support you on a daily basis with my advice, secrets and techniques for success and these for only $6 per month less han a coffee.visit the link at my channel and IM me,Alex
Males make for more respected professors (don't blame me).
This is a long term carryover from Greek society.
Whether wrong or right, it will continue to exist as we still continue to use the academic system of higher education that has it's roots in ancient Greece.
But that will never happen, given our economic system. The number of people majoring in Humanities are dropping every year, and it is harder if not impossible for Phds to find academic work. No students/customers, no business/classes. The market has spoken.
Doesn't supply and demand factor into this? More available teachers within a certain field mean more competition and people being willing to take lower salaries for those positions?
Science graduates have corporations competing for them as well as universities-- to keep them in academe, salaries in science are higher. Corporate PhD-level opportunities in Humanities, I would say are more scarce.
I guess I can see the feminization, but I think "supply and demand" is at the core of this.
I'm not sure that Michelle Masse is using the term, "pyramid scheme," in its most generally accepted way.
"A pyramid scheme is a non-sustainable business model that involves the exchange of money primarily for enrolling other people into the scheme, usually without any product or service being delivered." Wikipedia
I think that "male-dominated hierarchy" is probably more accurate.
I think "pyramid scheme" perfectly describes modern academia. Universities peddle a product called a PhD. The great majority of PhDs end up doing menial work as adjunct or contingent faculty, which pays less than
they would have made if they'd got a job straight out of high school and spent the time getting real-world experience. In other words, a PhD has negative economic value. A handful of PhDs are given tenure-track jobs, so they can produce more PhDs. It's a classic pyramid scheme.
I'll be playing better than them when I quit my job using the method I found at ez-casino(dot)com! LOL

College teaching is the most humiliating low wage career I have ever seen........
no job security, low wages, working at 2+ campuses, paying for own supplies/photocopies to state a few. Maybe ....capitalism showing its color...

There is no such thing as "supply and demand" in humanities.
Give "market forces" the freedom to determine "demand" for humanities -- and there would be none, and culture would stifle.
You can't entrust such important things to people who only care about money and personal material gain.
It is always a highly conscious and deliberate decision to do humanities. This is how "demand" should be determined: consciously and deliberately.
